Whilst Dia as a whole *should* be okay I imagine the canvas (aka the document) is a black hole Dia can export to formats such as SVG and PDF which may fair better I don't have much knowledge in this area but I wouldn't have thought the kinda diagrams Dia makes could ever be particularly compatible with blind users, perhaps you would be better offering a text based description yourself? > For more info on JAWS here the Wiki link: > https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FJAWS_(screen_reader&data=02%7C01%7C%7C492f32a861e14fa57ce808d717037e5c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637003176079281079&sdata=T9GHIZxFdb%2B4G7UI9ub%2FhU26EQwvS3FRs%2BypzjnT%2FAg%3D&reserved=0 > ) > > Any advice is appreciated, > Steve > > > Steven M.
